But NOT like Lena/Kristy. Lena kept trying to the end, I think she would still be trying.

Not that I blame T/M in ANY way...i could not have done that bell either. This was one task that required upper body strenght.

What this reminds me of is the Bowling Moms. Done in by lack of upper body strength in a task hard for a woman to do.

I am so sad for them both, but they tried their absolute best!! I think they really had no other option at the point they gave up.

What is the can't do a detour penalty? The choice would be take that penalty and pray it was a NEL...and who knows?? Maybe it was...

Yes the tried (and props to them for that) but others have also done tasks and not been able to complete them and proceed to either never give up or make their way to the Pit Stop and face either elimination or a penalty from hell.

But in competition you don't quit. I would respect them more to walk to the Pit Stop and face the Philinator.

To Quote the Family Edition, quiters never win, and winners never quit. Even when you are the losers, you still are winners.

Agree.. I dun mind they keep trying like Lena and Phil come over and said you girls can stop it..

Is better that way than quitting..

but these cases are very different. In LK's case there was still the possibility to find a clue. in MT's case the wind was making it impossible to sink the ball in.

But you still don't just say I want to quit the race, even Mika & Canaan didn't do that. You go to Phil and take your lumps. That could be elimination (most likely) or it could be a horrendous penalty (that would still most likely cause your elimination) but you don't just quit the show.
